` V Application filed June 24, 1886. Serial No. 2046.163.v (No model.) 1

To @ZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, IRA YB. TEIPP, a citizen of the United States, residing at Aurora, Illi-V nois, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Window-Curtain Bars, of which thefollowing is a specification.

In the drawings, Figure lis a front view of a Window-curtain provided with my improved bar. Fig. 2 is a plan view of/the bar ready to be attached to the curtain, and Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional View of the bar'after being attached to thecurtain.

A is the window-curtain.

B is the curtain-bar. K

C are lugs or fasteners by which the bar is attached to the curtain and its sides to each other. i

In making my improved -windowcurtain bar I takea piece of tin or other suitable metal and cut it into strips .of a length corresponding to the width of the curtain. The bar is made oftwo strips of the proper width for the bar and adapted to embrace the lower edge of the curtain between them, 4or'thelower edge of the curtain and the upper edge of the strip of fringe or other material intended to impart a vfinished and tasty appearance to the curtain.

One of the strips is provided with tongues or lugs alongl its edges, bent at rightangles, so as to pierce and pass through the material interposed between t'he strips and to Abe bent down againstthe outer side of the other strip forming the bar. The tongues of this strip-(willv thus clamp and sustain the otherI strip, and togetherthe tWo strips will form asecure fastening for thejcurtain, the finishing, and each other. As many or as kfew lugsrn'aybe employed, and they may be on either one 'of` the strips, as may be desired. f y

The strips out of which the curtain-bars are formed may b'e made of tin, thin brass, or other .suitablemetal, and they may-'be cut outin blank by machinery or yby other convenient means. Where they are longer than the width of the curtain to which they are intended to be attached, they .may be'cut off `with'shears to the proper length. A pull ring or knob may be fastened to thenr for convenience 'in raising or lowering the curtain,'as in thecase of other 4curtain-bars.

4`What I regard as new, by Letters Patent, `is-ly, f t

, A curtain-.bar comprising two main partsor sides, between which the-curtain is interposed in use, and from the top and bottom ofone of 55 which sides tongues or lugs project across the top and bottom of the opposite side, which they overlap and clasp, substantially as described..

i :zok and desire to secure y IEA E. TEIPP.
